Poems for the youth workers in your life

Roses are red, Violets are blue, I’d love to go out tonight, But my DBS form is due…

Dodgeballs are red, Pew Bibles are blue, That young person just turned green, HELP, WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!?!

Will you marry me in the church? Right there, with the steeple. My references are cultural, And my practice is equal.

Roses are red, Love poems are stupid, But I feel God’s bringing us together, Like some heavenly cupid.

 

Youth work chat up lines

‘Would you like to network some time?’

‘I love you more than a youth worker loves Apple products.’

‘Would you like to go pick out plaid shirts on Saturday?’

‘I love you because you’re like coffee: strong and totally necessary for my youth ministry.’

‘Would you like to join my dodgeball team?’

‘You’re so perfect for me that you’re turning me Calvinist.’

‘Did it hurt when you fell from the attic where we keep youth group supplies?’

‘The only reason Solomon had more than 700 wives is because he never met you.’

‘I don’t mean to brag, but I am a surprisingly proficient juggler.’

‘My DBS check came back perfectly clear.’

‘I’ll share my Premier Youthwork subscription with you.’
